The big freeze is over.

The leaves are browning up on the cold sensitive plants. The best thing you can do now is wait.

Once you see new growth you can trim and cleanup plants. After a hard freeze many won’t return until summer. Be patient.

Some will return from the roots. Fruit trees, roses, many other plants are grafted on to hardy root stock so you many not end up with the same plant.

The rest, well, it’s a good excuse to buy new plants.
